Chewed tiny stones, shillings and miscellaneous objects (4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
bits and bobs
'chewed tiny stones shillings and miscellaneous objects' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'chewed tiny stones shillings and miscellaneous objects' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'chewed' could be 'bit' and 'bit' is present in the answer.
'shillings' could be 'bob' (plural as in 'two bob') and 'bob' is present in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is found in the answer.
'objects' could be 'ds' (D is an example) and 'ds' is located in the leftover letters.
The remaining letters 'sa' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bits and bobs that I've seen before include "Paraphernalia" , "Assortment of small items" , "Miscellaneous items" , "Odds and ends" , "Assorted small things" .)
